Hi Greg, Failure analysis of open traces and wires... This from looking at a couple of large tubes earlier this year... 1) Measure capacitance anode to element and compare with a known good tube. I found significant reduction in capacitance on an element with a break in the lead near the tube

While on the subject of bad 7971's, has anyone done failure analysis on a bad tube ? I have one that is completely dead because there is a crack in the base, therefore it leaked. No mystery there. Another one has 1 bad segment that does not illuminate at all even above 250V, with no obvious sig

Re: [neonixie-l] re: 6 - B7971 tubes

Those tubes have been on the bay for many many months and no-one has purchased them, yet the seller keeps the price at 200 dollars. Too expensive. I have some of the little 5971's but alas no clock to put them in yet On Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 1:51 PM, Ulysses Balis wrote: > Speaking of B-797

Speaking of B-7971's, on a whim, I just did a search on eBay for the rarer cousin of the B-7971, the B-8971. Amazingly, I found one. As I haven't bid on this type of tube in a while, I'm not sure what the going rate is these days, but $200 seems reasonable, given how rare they are. http://www.eb

I am not sure of the seller that Michail is referring to on ebay, but I can add my experience that this listing contains known bad tubes and the seller knows that some of us are on to him… http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-pc-HUGE-B-7971-B7971-NIXIE-TUBE-FOR-COOL-CLOCKS-/253196543763?hash=item3af3b0a

Hello, I have tubes; however, I don’t think I would be in a good price range. So, just to set a price…. $130 each + shipping. Will take a video of units working and mark them as you wish prior to shipping if you like. There are cheaper units on ebay, so no need to tell me you can get

I prefer a web GUI that I can use from my phone - this is one reason I no longer buy off-the-shelf hardware (I've yet to actually build my own, but that is another story. I have retrofitted web GUIs to the more open hardware). With a web GUI you can expose as much as you like and make it simple

Re: [neonixie-l] How many push-buttons for settings?

For increasing or decreasing a value, as a user I prefer a knob over buttons - it's generally quicker and you don't have to think about schemes such as speeding up the increment of change as you hold down the button. On Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 9:11 AM, JohnK wrote: > An aside: If that board gets b

An aside: If that board gets buried in a hard to open box, consider "gluing" the clear plastic sides on those 3mm sockets. It sometimes doesn't take very much angled force on the plug [like a cable pull] to pop the side off. John K - Original Message - From: newxito To: neonixie

Yes. The price is what it is. I'm a big fan of Rodan tubes in general. I think they stand alone as a work of art. The extra little touches such as chrome bases and chromed labels are what make them stand out for me. Plus they function well and were made in a huge range of sizes and styles. The C
